As an international student, International Student Welcome Day is your official welcome to the University of Sydney Community.

Meditation can be an effective way of managing the pressures of university and life in general.

The USYD Falun Dafa club invites all interested students to an introduction to their meditation practice.

Judo involves conditioning, technical training, and sparring. Everyone of all abilities, shapes and sizes are welcome!

Judo, the gentle way, consists of throwing and grappling techniques to suit all shapes and sizes. It is a real fighting sport where you actually come to grips with your opponent, specialising in close-in fighting - just what you need for effective self-defence. It emphasises free-form practice rather than rigid and repetitive routines. This freedom of expression provides interest, enjoyment and a challenge for any tactician.

This full day event will provide commencing full-time Juris Doctor students with degree-specific information and provide an opportunity to hear from key members of staff, students and other university services.   This event will be delivered in person only.  The event schedule and more information to help you get started as a Juris Doctor student can be found on our Juris Doctor Welcome page.

This event will provide commencing part-time Juris Doctor students with degree-specific information and provide an opportunity to hear from key members of staff, students and other university services.  Please aim to arrive between 5:30pm and 5:45pm.

The relationship you have with your supervisor will have a huge bearing on your HDR experience. This is why the SUPRA HDR Equity Network has teamed up with ithinkwell to present: 'Managing your Supervisor with Hugh Kearns.'

New PhD and Masters students tend to assume that it is the supervisor’s responsibility to manage the relationship and can tend to be a bit passive. However, it is your Research Degree, and you need to be active in the supervisory relationship. Supervisors are usually overworked, under a lot of pressure and like all of us, are not perfect. As a research student you need to have some strategies to work effectively with your supervisor. 

In this workshop you will learn: 

• How to deal with different supervisory styles 
• Differing expectations 
• How to use meetings to help you make progress 
• Asking for and dealing with feedback 
• Dealing with difficult situations 

Date:      28/03/2023

Time:      1-3pm

Target:     Any research student 

Duration:  2 hours 

Format:    Via Zoom

Are you the type of student who’s always late to submit assignments? Effective time management and goal setting can help you achieve the desired academic success in a shorter amount of time. This session will provide you with different tools and techniques to plan your priorities, avoid procrastination and manage time for better work-life balance and productivity.   

Come and meet Library staff, grab some freebies and have fun!
